If that's the case, then why didn't Javascript take its place instead? It's arguably even better at Python in both of those areas....
I think Python is superficially easier since you don't have to declare variables, printing is a little easier, etc. And in some ways it is actually easier, e.g. arbitrary precision integers, no
undefined, less implicit type coercion.But I agree JavaScript is generally a better choice. And it is actually more popular than Python so...
But worse in everything else. And the runtime-platform is a mess.
